What are interesterified fats and should we be worried about them in our diet?
Abstract
Interesterified (IE) fats are used in a wide range of food products and were introduced as a replacement for trans fats, which are known to be detrimental to cardiovascular health. However, the effects of interesterification on metabolism and subsequent effects on cardiovascular health are not understood and previous studies have seldom investigated industrially‐relevant IE fats. No legislation currently exists regarding the labelling of IE fats in food products and therefore estimates of average consumption rates in the UK population are currently unavailable. In order to meet the urgent need for a systematic i...

Sleep patterns in relation to dietary patterns and cardio ‐metabolic risk: An update from Drummond Pump Priming Award recipients
This article provides an update on the project ‘Sleep patterns in relation to dietary patterns and cardio‐metabolic risk’, which received funding from the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) Drummond Pump Priming Award. Studying the relationship between sleep, the biological clock, timing of eating and nutrition is part of a new research area termed chrono‐nutrition. With the help of the BNF award, a PhD project was set up to investigate the effects of sleep duration and quality on energy balance, dietary intake and quality, and cardio‐metabolic risk factors. The project included three studies: (1) a systematic re...

Diet, food components and the intestinal barrier
Abstract
The majority of dietary nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine, with the intestinal epithelium acting as a barrier to the contents of the intestinal lumen. This barrier is maintained by intestinal epithelial cells, which support nutrient uptake but prevent translocation of bacteria, allergens and toxins. There is complex signalling and interaction between intestinal epithelia, macrophages, luminal contents and the microbiota which can modulate epithelial paracellular porosity. Intake of alcohol, fatty acids, pharmaceuticals and pathogenic bacteria has been reported to increase paracellular permeability,...

Concordant and divergent strategies to improve postprandial glucose and lipid metabolism
Abstract
Following ingestion of a mixed‐macronutrient meal, blood glucose and triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations are elevated for approximately 2 and 8 hours, respectively, depending on factors such as the amount and type of food ingested. For many individuals who consume at least three meals per day, the majority of waking hours are thus spent in a postprandial state. Exaggerated postprandial glycaemia and triglyceridemia are associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and so strategies to alleviate such perturbations are desirable (e.g. exercise and/or diet). An acute bout of endurance, resistance or high...
